Bacopa Vs Gotu Kola
In South India, the term ‘Brahmi’ is often also used for ‘Gotu Kola’ (Indian Pennywort and Botanical name is Centella Asiatica ). Although both Bacopa Monnieri and Centella Asiatica are both used for brain related diseases but they are very different herbs. The effectiveness of Bacopa Monnieri is far more than Centella Asiatica in treating degenerative disorders. Use of Centella Asiatica is only as tonic for a healthy person who already does not have any neural, psychiatric or any other degenerative disease.
Quality of our Bacopa: Bacopa’s quality is of utmost important. Our company grows Bacopa with hydroponic technique. The herb is not exposed to any pesticide or insecticide from the time of its plantation to its reaping. The company has made sure that herbs are not exposed to any other chemical either. The techniques usually employed to dry Brahmi shape them into 450 mg tablets includes drying of Bacopa plants in oven at 50-60C or in sun. Exposure to heat usually results in loss of ingredients in the plant. The company owns unique drying plants which include exposure of the herb to vapours that eventually absorbs humidity or water content from the plant. Thereby, company effectively saves effective medicinal value of the herb which would otherwise be lost.
Cold press grinding techniques is yet another technique used by the company that distinguishes it from other Bacopa producing companies. Cold grinding technique is significant to retain essential elements of Bacopa. Moreover, no thermal damage is done to the plants. The company promises high quality Bacopa to its customers as company keeps strict quality control to produce high quality Bacopa right from the time of its cultivation to its final preparation into the powdered form.
According to the guidelines of Indian Pharmacopoeia-2007, amount of loss of weight after drying of Bacopa Monniera should not be more than 6% of the initial weight taken. Our company strictly adheres to these guidelines, and illustrates weight loss less than the initial weight taken. In ash content purity testing too, company follows standards as per Ayurveda pharmacopeia of India, 1999.
Amount of Bacoside-A in the different formulations of Bacopa Monniera is perhaps the most important factor while deciding quality of the product.
Bacoside –A is the substance that is extracted from the ‘Bacopa Monniera’ plant, is a folk-medicinal substance believed to exhibit therapeutic properties, particularly enhancing cognitive functions and improving memory. It’s Bacoside-A only that exhibits properties that mitigate cytotoxicity. It is essential, therefore, that the Bacopa that we ingest is of high quality of Bacoside-A. In nutshell, Bacoside-A can be said to be the core medicinal value of the plant. A study conducte

In nutshell, Bacoside-A can be said to be the core medicinal value of the plant. A study conducted by Saini, Mathur and Agrawal had noticed that there was a huge difference between the Bacoside – A content of the formulations that are available as ‘over the counter’ sale. Our company ensures that high yield of Bacoside-A is available to the customer by maintain highest purity and ensuring the best herbal formulation to the customer. If the product that the customer buys has less than required amount of Bacoside—A, it would mean that less amount of bioactive molecule will be available. Our company’s effort has been to ensure that guidelines provided by the Ayurveda pharmacopeia of India are strictly implemented.
